Patent EP-1092611-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YIFEI RAYMOND HOU
IPC: B62D11/10
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A supplemental charge for a hydrostatic vehicle steering system is provided by
coupling the output of the transmission oil pump (54) to the outlet of the steering
charge pump (36) and providing a check valve (62) to prevent oil flow from the
transmission oil pump (54) to the steering charge pump (36) unless the charge pump
outlet pressure drops below the operating pressure of the transmission pump (54).
When the steering charge pressure does drop below the transmission oil pressure,
the check valve (62) opens and oil is provided to the main steering pump (40) by the
transmission oil pump (54). A pressure transducer (64) in the oil line (60) activates a
warning signal in the event the check valve (62) is open more than a few minutes to
alert the vehicle operator to a system failure.

Abstract: A font controlling method and apparatus in, for example, a so-called on-screen
display (OSD), in which, when displaying letters or the like of different
languages, well-balanced high-quality display easy and comfortable to see is to be
enabled without abbreviating a word or splitting a line in two lines. To this end, the
font controlling apparatus includes an input signal discriminating unit 2, an OSD
control micro-computer 3 and a character generator IC 5. The input signal
discriminating unit 2 discriminates the sort of the graphics display standard of an
input signal. The OSD control micro-computer 3 determines the sort of the font in
use and the size of the font based on a display language request signal from the user
and the sort of the graphics display standard of the input signal. The character
generator IC 5 generates an OSD display signal responsive to the sort of the font
determined by the OSD control micro-computer 3 and the font size.

Abstract: An amount of product(s) (36, 38, 41, 42) produced by an air separation unit (X) is increased by integrating a single column cryogenic distillation unit (Y) such that the production of the air separation unit is boosted to A+B moles/h. A process for increasing the amount of product(s) produced by the air separation unit (X) comprises integrating the single column cryogenic distillation unit. The product has a different composition, and optionally a different state and/or a different pressure, from the fluid mixture(s). The air separation unit alone, before a single column cryogenic distillation unit is integrated to it, produces an A moles/h of a first product and the amount of the first product withdrawn from the air separation unit and optionally from the distillation unit is increased to C moles/h. C is greater than A, and comprises fluid steam(s) withdrawn from the air separation unit and optionally from the distillation unit. The integration comprises sending energy and/or fluid stream(s) from the air separation unit to the distillation unit and/or from the distillation unit to the air separation unit. The distillation unit treats fluid mixture(s) by process(es) such that the air separation unit produces an amount of first product A+B moles/h. The process(es) is/are pressurization, mixing, expansion, distillation, liquefaction, adsorption, and/or permeation. An Independent claim is also included for an air separation apparatus having an air separation unit comprising a high and/or a low pressure column (25, 27) and possibly an intermediate pressure column and/or mixing column, which are thermally linked; means for producing a stream containing more than 20 mol % oxygen from a single column cryogenic distillation unit; means for sending part(s) of the stream to the high and/or low pressure column and/or intermediate pressure column and/or mixing column; means for sending cooled and purified air to the high pressure and/or to the distillation unit; and means for removing an oxygen enriched product from the unit(s) of the apparatus.

Abstract: A vehicle cab is resiliently suspended on a vehicle frame. Between the cab and the frame is arranged a device for limiting the mobility of the cab relative to the frame during operation and upon tilting of the cab. The device incorporates two stop surfaces fastened to the cab, and a movement limiter fastened to a stabilizer which is fastened to the frame. The movement limiter extends between the stop surfaces so that it shifts between them upon movement of the link arms. The cab's mobility is limited by the fact that contact occurs between the movement limiter and the stop surfaces.

Abstract: The fastener has a core (1). Extending from opposite sides of the core are a pair of major fins (2) and a pair of minor fins (3). The fins are formed so as to follow a 30  DEG  helix. The ends of the fastener are pointed. The material of the fastener is stainless steel, work hardened in its formation. In use, the fastener can be hammered into a 2.5mm pilot bore (11) through a timber (12) and a piece of steel work (13). In the timber, the minor fins have lightly gripped the timber, but the major fins have cut into the timber to cause the fastener to twist on its helix as it is driven in. When the fastener reaches the steel, the minor fins have a diameter to engage and cut into the pilot bore for good grip.

Abstract: In an ice storage ( 10, 12, 14, 16 ) the aim is to ensure that ice is chipped off that surface of the ice mass in the storage, which stems from the water which froze to ice first. Likewise, efficient discharging of chipped-off ice to external conveyor devices ( 23 ) is ensured. This is achieved by means of a particular ice storage floor construction ( 16 ) consisting of parallel, elongate, tubular elements ( 18 ) placed with intermediate slots. The floor elements ( 18 ) carry carriers ( 20 ) in the form of strip-like ice-chipping elements, and the tubular floor elements ( 18 ) are supported individually rotational and are preferably driven collectively. The ice-chipping elements may alternatively be formed through the cornered cross-sectional shape of the floor elements, which provide distinct, longitudinal edge portions of good chipping and carrying properties.
